Intersite Game - Turn Discussion Thread

[Boldly Going Nowhere]

You guys are incredibly good at sucking every last bit of enjoyment out of this game for me.

Can I just say - this isn't just a Sullla thing, guys. Some of you are just a little too tightly wound, and on one or two occasions I've been about ready to be done with the diplo thing for similar reasons. Considering that role is much less pressure/activity than turn-playing, I can imagine turn playing is probably more than a bit obnoxious. There's really no reason to get bent out of shape because a turn player handled a scouting unit slightly differently than you would have wanted. If there's no obvious consensus and/or strong opinions, turn player gets final say and that's that. If you think the turn player repeatedly does a poor job of exercising his "final say" rights, then nominate someone else to take his place, but I don't think anybody wants that here - Sullla has been great.

I don't think any of you have bad intentions or anything, just know that consistently second-guessing once a decision has been made gets pretty old. Ok, if the turn player randomly declares war on somebody then yeah, second-guess that . But if we're just talking a scouting unit, ease up. It's not a big deal if your suggestion gets seemingly ignored a couple times.

With absolutely no sarcasm (seriously), let's hug it out and move on. We're in great position in this game because we talk (sometimes to death) about issues/plans, even minute things that over time make a big difference. I don't think this issue of scouting is one of those, but every small advantage accrues. I think that we snipe over tiny things because the turns take so long and there's very little else to do in between. Let's all take a deep breath and exercise some patience with one another. It's the Germans we're truly peeved at.

my scouting move suggestion would have revealed 3 tiles! i demand reparations!
(totally kidding here)

Thanks for the efforts Sulla and Scooter - they are appreciated. I think this boils down to the earlier issue. if we agree to a person's suggestion, however minor, we must post to that effect - otherwise we can't blame the turn player for assuming there was no consensus (or a consensus against) on the matter.

edit: x-post with m_h - i guess there were a few people that posted agreement.

Yeah, Sullla is doing an awesome job! And it is also awesome that this community has the energy to put the effort and analyze both big and small decisions. That's one of the main reasons why we are in such a great position!

Let's continue doing the good work, maintain positive attitude, enjoy the game and kick some butt

Well, he's the diplomat

Anyway I agree with scooter. Let's move on, Sullla, Scooter, you guys are doing great, thanks. MH, I doubt anybody thinks any less about you, your suggestions are appreciated.
